So to remove the side ones are you able reach the pins by removing the inside trim?

I've got a thread, thats a little out of date here that has a few pictures. The mounting plate should arive today and maybe this week we can do a proper test fit with the box attached I've just been really lazy, the weather hasnt been kinda and Im still pretty stuffed after installing new kitchen. Maybe this badge stuff is an easy way of getting back into it.

Has anyone here made custom badges before?

Hi guys I want to be able to restore the badges on the 120Y, how are they fixed to the body? double sided tape? do they have a plug into the body?

Eventually I'll and to do both the side and back one so info on either would be good.

I have been really lasy with this lately, time and money, 2 things I don't have at the moment having just installed a new kitchen into our place. Anyway some cutting and pushing and the 351 has a new home










Next is getting the steering sorted out and running new fuel components.

I had a 4 point in my old daily, didnt get any trouble for it, I heard from others its fine aslong as the tube is covered with an appropriate material (foam etc) and it cant obscure the vision at all, so 6 point cages were out. That was in Melbourne.

I knocked up a quick 3d model of the bay and the engine, the size of the engine is a little off (you can see how easy it makes it look, LIAR!).

I dont claim to be any good at this stuff infact this is my first attempt at 3d models like this, but it was fun so I though I'd share.

Dat383, this weekend I followed your lead and swapped the front struts over to get the steering arms facing forward. Not a job I want to do again by myself, a helper monkey is called for next time.

I picked up a gemini rack and was looking at the alternatives for shortening, from your response It sounds like you shortened the rack, I was looking at putting a longer thread on the tie rods and cutting off the excess, reckon theres a negative to my approach, just seemed easier.

The splines are different from the 120 box to the Gemini rack so I'll have to so something about that but its looking better now, just have to see if the high volume sump will have to go to get it all to fit.

I had a go at removing the battery tray and I tells ya I had to mutilate that thing to get it out, the combination of a small area and a large grinder didnt play nice. So I got a smaller grinder and still couldn't get it out neatly. I wont post any pics of that cause its seriously nasty!

Today I checked out another wreckers and picked up a manual rack from a Gemini that looked like a close match, a rough measure showed it'll probably come up about 5-8 cm too long, what are the options here? can I just sorten the arms? My first doing a steering conversion so any advice would be great.

Wow I was thinking I was up for another couple o hundred bucks, so anything shy of that is a bonus.

What did they flog it for per meter? Im miles away from even having to worry about this im still working out if It'll fit! but would be a good resource to come back to if there were some figures thrown around.
